Multi-modal optimization refers to locating not only one optimum but a set of locally optimal solutions. Niching is an important technique to solve multi-modal optimization problem...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
In this paper, we study a class of optimal path problems with the following phenomenon: The space complexity of the algorithms for reporting the lengths of single-source optimal pa...

Research into ant colony algorithms for solving continuous optimization problems forms one of the most significant and promising areas in swarm computation. Although traditional an...
Genetic linkage analysis is a challenging application which requires Bayesian networks consisting of thousands of vertices. Consequently, computing the likelihood of data, which i...
